Shine is as great of a host as you could ever hope for, and his place is fantastic. I loved it so much that I extended my trip from 1 week to 3 weeks. And I really appreciated Shine's patience and flexibility while I kept changing my itinerary.
The apartment is as advertised (I think it's better actually). It's very comfortable for 1 or 2 people, stylish, and stocked with everything you could ever need. Although if it is missing anything, Shine will certainly get it for you.
Here is a list of just a few things I really liked about his place:
+ internet and air conditioning worked great
+ loft style floor plan with high ceilings and beautiful floor-to-ceiling windows that provide a nice view overlooking Thonglor to the north
+ nice little gym and swimming pool on the top floor, along with a large communal area with nice sofas and wifi
+ perfect location on a quite street less than 5 minute walk from Thong Lo BTS station, and 10 minute walk from the heart of Thonglor where you'll find a great selection of stores, restaurants, and bars. There's also two nice coffee shops and a cafe located just steps away.
+ amazing street food options just up the street
+ the building is very secure and there are friendly building staff working there around the clock
I hope I get to stay there again some day. Highly recommended.
